Asterix: The Mansions Of The Gods DVD Giveaway

Asterix: The Mansions Of The Gods is a PG rated computer animated adventure movie, with a voice cast that includes a host of UK comedians in the familiar starring roles, including Jack Whitehall as Asterix, and Nick Frost as Obelix. It will be released on DVD and 2D/3D Blu-ray on December 12th - just in time for Christmas, and I have a copy to give away to one of my readers...

The movie is set in 50 BC, and Gaul was entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely… as one small village still holds out against the invaders. Julius Caesar (Jim Broadbent), exasperated by the situation, decides to change tactics. Since Julius Caesar and his armies are unable to beat them using force, the Romans decide to charm the barbaric Gauls with the introduction of civilisation and modern luxuries. A fantastic housing complex is built near the village for Roman families, and it is named ‘The Mansions of the Gods’.

I've previously reviewed Asterix: The Mansions Of The Gods, and it was a hit with everyone here. The larger than life animation and visual comedy throughout make it a great movie for children of all ages, and the comic asides and sarcasm make it a good one for the parents too.

Jim Broadbent is brilliantly cast as Caesar, and the entire ensemble seem to have really enjoyed making this movie, as they play off one another beautifully. The cast is littered with famous names including Greg Davies, Matt Berry, Catherine Tate, Harry Enfield, Richard McCourt & Dominic Wood (aka Dick & Dom). This is still one of the funniest films we've watched all year, and one of the most universally enjoyed.
